Not all Catholics are aware that the current Chaplain for the US House of Representatives is Catholic. Fr. Daniel P. Coughlin began his term in March 2000. He is the first Roman Catholic ever appointed to this position, which has existed since 1789.
The Chaplain’s roles include offering the opening prayer each day as the House of Representatives begins its session and offering personal counsel and general pastoral services to Congressional representatives and their families and staff.
Fr. Coughlin has offered a Prayer for Election Day. As we prepare for election day tomorrow, Tuesday, why not pray this short prayer on our way to vote?
